Blogback Mountain

A part of me wants to make an awesome skirt for my sink like this, but a bigger part of me knows that everytime I saw it I'd be like, "Dude, sink, where do you get off wearing cuter clothes than me?"

National Geographic Traveler is polling people about what makes their city great. My friend Whitney has some fabulous answers about DC that have me yearning to go back!

Have you guys tried the new "Rumspringa" cocktail? It's super tasty but be careful--after a few of 'em you may find it difficult to go back to the ol' ox and plow.

Princess Poochie is awesome because she took a simple trip to the drugstore and ended up decked out in drunken harlot makeup with a miniature deer on her head.

The Lovely Lisa has an article in Vancouver Fashion eZine! Congrats, girl!

OMG OMG some of my favorite Portland bloggers are having a big craft sale/ice cream party on July 25th. I can't wait to meet some cool ladies, buy some cool stuff, and eat some delish pie. See you there?

Speaking of local awesomeness and favorite Portland bloggers, check out Abby's gorgeous photos of her field trip to Hood River Lavender Farms.

OK, so I know every week I'm like, "I love Sal! She rocks!" but, you know, I just love Sal. She rocks!

I love Lady Smaggle too. God, I'm full of love this week!

What terms of endearment do you use with your partner? I'm fond of "Lovey," "Dude," "Missy," and "Heeeeeyyy yoooouuuu can I have a foot rub while I watch Primetime: Crime?"

Sarah has a great post about the downsides of being pleasant, even though last week a Scientologist made a graph to prove that she is very unpleasant. I don't know who to trust!

And finally, you should totally read Design Is Mine if you don't already. It's so pretty I have to stop myself from licking my screen multiple times daily.

Thank for the nod, lovely! I was proud of myself for being vaguely UNPLEASANT to my shitty landlord yesterday. Watch out, she's out the box now.

For terms of endearment, I model myself on Ice-T and Coco: "Bitch, c'mere."

Ach, I love you to bits, too, beautiful. THANK YOU for the shout-out!

Becky said...

I love Sal, as well...I have a blog crush on her. Answer to the terms of endearment question: we call each other "monkey". I don't know why.

Suzy said...

Oh. My. God.

Your friend actually walked into a Scientology church? Is she okay? Have you heard from her since? Has she been acting funny? Has she mentioned a white van in the vicinity of her house more than twice lately?

When I drive by those places (and I only know of one in my town), I give them wide birth. And I would NEVER voluntarily walk in one. I value my life, physical safety and privacy.

Amanda said...

*Typos that spellcheck doesn't find are FUN!

Berth. Not Birth. I do not give birth to Scientology churches. Ow. And also, creepy.

Lisa said...

Thanks for the mention! I'll have to check out some of these links later. :)

Usually I'm a big Topshop fan but this... noo. Anyway, I thought you'd enjoy being exposed to its hideousness.

Claire said...

Oh my gosh Hannah, that reminds me! I came across these wedges last week and thought, "I need to know what the Five Men think about these!"
Topshop can't always be a winner.

Whit said...

Thanks for the shout out! And we miss you too. Come back! Come back!

Words Between the Spaces said...

Thanks for the shout-out, doll. Come back to D.C. and I'll mix up a round of Rumspringa cocktails for you!

P.S. If I had a girlfriend, my pet name would be "doll". I hope that's not sexist.
